What is International Talk Like a Pirate Day?
International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a joke day invented by two friends in the United States. It spread around the world after a newspaper columnist wrote about it.
Ways to mark the day
- Say everything like a pirate, and wait for someone to notice.
- Wear an eye patch to work or to school.
- Draw a treasure map, and hide something for the children.
How the countdown works
The clock counts down to the 19th of September on your own device’s time, so it reaches zero at midnight where you are. When the day is over, it starts again for next year. Full screen puts it on a classroom board or a big screen. To count down to something of your own, enter it under Your own event.
